Last week, over a period of just 24 hours, 802,120 Americans from all walks of
life united with a very important message for Congress: stop the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline.

The aim of this unprecedented effort was to generate half a
million messages in 24 hours to urge the U.S. Senate to back away from legislation
that would resurrect this dangerous project. Almost 40 national and state advocacy organizations worked together to rally their members, and you responded accordingly--surpassing
this ambitious goal in only seven hours.

The "24 Hours to Stop the Pipeline” push concluded with a delivery of your messages to U.S. Senate leadership. See more photos here.

This was not the first time we've seen such an outpouring of
opposition to this dangerous project, and it won't be the last. The threats
to wildlife and natural resources from the proposed Keystone XL pipeline--including potentially devastating toxic oil
spills on its route through endangered whooping crane habitat and the
risks to thousands of wolves that may be poisoned from expansion of
Canadian tar sands operations--have sparked an outcry from wildlife advocates across
the country.
